  • Podcast Locked On Cavs host · Report ·

    The backup-guard check-in order changed in the finale. Thomas (heard as "Malik Thomas", likely Meleek Thomas) had been the 8th or 9th man earlier, but this time Craig Porter Jr. was 8th, Tyrese Proctor 9th, and Thomas 10th ("I believe"). Thomas still played in the first half.
